PRECAUTIONS

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in
handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was
originally packaged at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be
distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away
from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the
disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the
unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the
unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the
surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a clean soft cloth moistened with plain lukewarm water and
wrung dry. Never use benzol, benzene or other strong chemical
cleaners since these could damage the finish of your unit. It is
important that no liquid reaches the inside of the unit.

Surround right speaker cable
(Black and Gray)

Surround left speaker cable
(Black and Blue)

Note:
The speaker cables are packed in the speaker package.

To obtain a clear picture

The main unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick­up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality
will be poor.
Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after
every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating
environment.)
For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

CAUTION:

The main unit and powered subwoofer must be placed in a well
ventilated area.
Do not place any object on the top of the unit.
Do not block ventilation holes.
The cabinet of the unit warms up when it is used for a long time,
but it is not a malfunction.

WHAT TO DO IF...
If the operation of the unit or display is not normal, even
though the appropriate buttons have been pressed.

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet, wait a few minutes, and
plug it back in.

Note:
If the unit still does not operate correctly, please contact your
nearest Sanyo Authorized Service Facility.

BASIC CONNECTIONS

Note:
Do not connect the power cord to a 120V AC 60Hz outlet
until all connections have been made.

TV Antenna Connections

If you are using an antenna system, follow these instructions. If
you are a cable (CATV) subscriber, skip ahead to page E12 for
the proper connections.

The main unit must be connected “between” the antenna and the
TV. First, disconnect the antenna from the TV and connect it to
the main unit. Then connect the main unit to the TV. Below are 3
common methods of connecting an antenna system to a main
unit. Find the type of antenna system you are using and follow
the connection diagram.

ohm output.

Notes:

• A clear picture will not be obtained by the main unit unless the
antenna signal is good. Connect the antenna to the main unit
properly.

• For better quality recording, an indoor antenna or a telescopic
antenna is not recommended. The use of an outdoor type
antenna is required.

• If you are not sure about the connection, please refer to
qualified service personnel.

Basic TV Connections

After you have connected the antenna to the main unit, you must
connect the main unit to the TV.
Below are 3 common methods of connecting your main unit to a
TV. Find the type of TV you are using and follow the connection
diagram.
This main unit has a single 75 ohm output for connection to a TV.
If your TV has separate VHF and UHF antenna inputs (Examples
2 and 3 below), use a splitter to connect the main unit to the TV
for VHF and UHF reception.

Example 1: TV with single 75 ohm VHF/UHF antenna input

TV

Audio/Video Connection

1. Connect the DVD/VCR OUTPUT VIDEO jack on the main
unit to the video input jack on the TV using the video cable

CATV (CABLE TV) Connections

Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of
extra channels including pay or subscription channels. The main
unit has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most
cable channels without using a cable company supplied converter
box, except for those channels which are intentionally scrambled.
If you subscribe to a special channel which is scrambled, you
must have a descrambler box for proper reception.

This unit cannot receive scrambled programs since it does not
contain a descrambler. In order to receive scrambled programs,
your existing descrambler must be used. Descrambler boxes are
available from cable companies. Consult your local cable company
for more information concerning connection to their descrambler
equipment. There are many ways to connect your unit to a cable
system. Below are six common methods of connection.

FM antenna

The FM indoor antenna lead wire is sufficient to receive most
local FM signals.

1. Unwind the antenna lead wire.

2. Twist the end of the wire and pull it off.

3. Connect it to the rear FM 75 Ω terminal. See the illustration
on the right.

4. Extend it as straight as possible and, while listening to the
sound from the system, secure it in a position where the best
FM reception is found.

In fringe areas, or where reception is distorted or noisy, an FM
outdoor antenna (not supplied) should be connected instead of
the FM indoor antenna lead wire. The terminals will accept 75­ohm coaxial cable.

CAUTION:

When installing an outdoor antenna, follow the installation
instructions in “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” on
page E2.

Note:
To minimize noise...

• Keep the speaker wires, power cord and all other system

• Do not place the antenna close to a TV or speaker.

Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines
for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
